My Acer Sound force 550 computer speakers do not work.

The light on the power button does not turn on when I push the button in; I have tried all the troubleshooting from my computer. Do I have it plugged in incorrectly. It seems like there isn't any choice: one speaker has to be plugged into the other where it says "To L Spk" -- and the other speaker is plugged into the computer on the buttom of the three holes where this size plug can be inserted. This is probably stupidity on my part! Please help. Thank you. Nancy Hartford

The three holes which you r talking just insert that wire in all the holes 1 by 1 and check out.also connect the head phones and check out.also check the volume control setting in the task bar.it must be on mute.

1-wiring connecting your speakers to a socket to the back of the computer. (The spot they need to plug in to ON YOUR COMPUTER is a small light green circular socket. The other end of the plug you plug in here should run to one of your speakers *usually the right side speaker-the right speaker should then have separate wiring to connect the left speaker.)

2- A source of power.
Some speakers use their own power source and plug in to a power outlet - your wall. Other types have a USB type plug and plug into a USB port in your computer and that is how THOSE get their power.

Those are the basics of sound setup. Some computers are equipped with more complicated setups such as surround sound, subwoofers, digital and more. Reply if you need more help, I will try to assist you further.

I completely unplugged my speakers. And uninstalled all the hardware for my speakers. Then restarted my computer. Then inserted my format disc for my speakers. Reinstalled it. Using all automatic speaker settings. And they work fine now.

if you are not getting the sound then try checking the sound button on the right bottom side of the screen that has been put on "mute" or not...check for the speaker power button or the volume button on the speakers itself...also try uninstalling & reinstalling the sound drivers...

The light you are seeing usually is a sign that the battery is discharged. Although you say the battery shows that it is fully charged, it is possible that the battery is fully discharged or defective. You should disconnect the battery from the pc and try powering on with the ac adapter. Although no way to per say "force reboot," removing all power sources (ac adapter and battery) should in essence reset the motherboard.
